    Solved How to check the DNS IP address pushed by the OpenVPN?

    Local DNS resolve via dnsmasq fails in 386.9 for LAN clients

    Hi, encountering really odd DNS issue after dirty-installing 386.9 fw (upgrade from 386.7-2). On the previous versions of firmware, I was using /jffs/configs/dnsmasq.conf.add for local network name resolution in the form of address=/[server.domain]/[ip]. The domain itself is .home, so...

    How to slow DNS queries?

    I’m having an issue where sometimes the DNS Server will stop responding temporarily for like a minute or two. I’m running in AX86U. I personally think it’s because it’s getting slammed with requests. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    WAN DNS (DNS Server vs DoT)

    Looking at the WAN page, I understand I can assign the DNS instead of just getting it from my ISP. My question is how does this work with selecting "DNS-Over-TLS" under "DNS Privacy Protocol"? It would seem that these settings would compete with each other? Thanks.

    Should I specify the DNS Servers?

    Hi All, I have an Asus ZenWifi XT8 router and can set the DNS servers. I've never done this before. Should I specify the DNS servers to be a little safer? If so, should I just use Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 or something else? Anything else I don't even know to ask? Thanks so much!

    ZenWifi XT8 custom DNS for Guest network

    Haven't found any answers to this out there, but is it possible to assign a custom DNS setting to a Guest network on the ZenWifi XT8 router? The only place I see where a custom DNS can be set is under the WAN setting, but this is global, meaning it affects all the networks. I don't see a...

    How to set up DSL-AC68U without its DHCP server running?

    I have a DSL-AC68U which I want to configure (initially at least) without its DHCP server running but there seems to be no way to set the default gateway and the DNS server to use. I've set them in the DHCP Server settings but since the DHCP server isn't running I don't think the settings are...

    WAN DNS Selection doesn't change DNS severs

    So I noticed that one of the latest updates has added a WAN selection pane which is very useful. However when I selection an option and hit 'Apply' it reconnects to my ISP but then just continues to use the ISP provided DNS servers on both the WAN overview & my devices. Any idea why this would...
